Low-Flow Characteristics for Selected Streams in Indiana

By Kathleen K. Fowler and John T. Wilson

Abstract

The management and availability of Indiana’s water 

resources increase in importance every year. Specifically, information on low-flow characteristics of streams is essential to 

State water-management agencies. These agencies need lowflow information when working with issues related to irrigation, municipal and industrial water supplies, fish and wildlife 

protection, and the dilution of waste. Industrial, municipal, and 

other facilities must obtain National Pollutant Discharge 

Elimination System (NPDES) permits if their discharges go 

directly to surface waters. The Indiana Department of Environmental Management (IDEM) requires low-flow statistics 

in order to administer the NPDES permit program. Low-flowfrequency characteristics were computed for 272 continuousrecord stations. The information includes low-flow-frequency 

analysis, flow-duration analysis, and harmonic mean for the 

continuous-record stations. For those stations affected by 

some form of regulation, low-flow frequency curves are based 

on the longest period of homogeneous record under current 

conditions. Low-flow-frequency values and harmonic mean 

flow (if sufficient data were available) were estimated for the 

166 partial-record stations. Partial-record stations are ungaged 

sites where streamflow measurements were made at base flow.

Introduction 

The management and availability of Indiana’s water 

resources increase in importance every year. Knowledge of 

the magnitude and frequency of low flows for streams is 

essential for water-supply planning and design, waste-load 

allocation, reservoir design, maintenance of aquatic life, and 

understanding the quantity and quality of water that is used 

for irrigation and recreation. Industrial, municipal, and other 

facilities must obtain National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permits if their discharges go directly to 

surface waters (U.S Environmental Protection Agency, 2012a). 

As authorized by the Clean Water Act, the NPDES permit 

program limits water pollution by regulating point sources 

that discharge pollutants into waters of the United States. In 

Indiana, the NPDES permit program is administered by the 

Indiana Department of Environmental Management (IDEM) 

on the basis of low-flow statistics. 

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in cooperation with 

State and Federal agencies, has collected daily streamflow 

data in Indiana since 1928. This continually growing data base 

is important in all aspects of water-resources investigations. 

Presented in this report are the low-flow characteristics for 272 

continuous-record stations and 166 partial-record stations in 

Indiana. The information includes low-flow-frequency analysis 

(the annual 1-day, 10-year, 1Q10; the 7-day, 10- year, 7Q10; 

and the 30-day, 10-year, 30Q10 low flows), flow-duration 

analysis, and harmonic mean flow computations for the continuous-record sites. For the 166 partial-record stations, lowflow-frequency statistics (1Q10, 7Q10, and 30Q10 low flows) 

and the harmonic mean flow were estimated. Partial-record stations are ungaged sites where streamflow measurements were 

made at base flow. In this report “ungaged” means sites where 

there is no device that records the stage of the river or stream. 

The same low-flow characteristics estimated at partial-record 

stations were estimated for continuous-record stations where 

less than 10 years of record were available. Low-flow characteristics are based on available data through September 2011, 

except for selected short-term continuous-record stations, 

where data extending through September 2013 were used. 

The analysis of low-flow characteristics of Indiana 

streams described and presented in this report was undertaken 

by the USGS in cooperation with IDEM.

Purpose and Scope

The purpose of this report is to present low-flow characteristics for 152 active continuous-record gaging stations, 120 

inactive continuous-record gaging stations, and 166 partialrecord stations at Indiana streams. This information is needed 

for management decisions by State and local officials concerned with water supplies, pollution management, and fish 

and wildlife preservation. In particular, this report develops 

low-flow statistics needed by IDEM for purposes including 

the development of Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs), 

305b/303d programs (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 

2012b), watershed planning, and the administration of the 

Indiana NPDES permit program.

Low-Flow Characteristics for Selected Streams in Indiana

Low-flow characteristics were determined for 230 

continuous-record stations with at least 10 years of record. 

An additional 42 continuous-record stations have less than 

10 years of record; these sites were compared with an index 

site, and low-flow characteristics were estimated by correlation of concurrent flows at the short-term and long-term 

(index) stations. Continuous-record stations are streamgaging 

stations for which daily streamflow is computed and stored. 

Most of these stations currently are active; some have been 

discontinued. Natural flow conditions, based on the entire 

period of record, are represented for most sites. The analyses 

for stations at which flows are affected by significant regulation used only the period of record affected by regulation; the 

natural flow conditions prior to regulation were not included 

in the frequency, harmonic mean, and flow-duration analyses 

for regulated streams. For this report, streamflow is considered 

regulated if more than 10 percent of the contributing drainage area is subject to significant control of discharge (such 

as the control of outflow from reservoirs). When a stream is 

significantly regulated, the remarks section of table 1 specifies that only the current regulated period is used. Activities 

such as occasional water withdrawals, mining operations, or 

discharges into a stream also can affect flow but are not considered significant. Continuous-record stations with less than 

10 years of record were treated as partial-record stations for 

estimating low-flow frequency and harmonic mean flows. The 

average daily discharge and percentiles for the flow-duration 

curve are provided for all of the continuous-record stations 

regardless of the length of the period of record, including 

records having less than 10 years. Frequency analysis for each 

of the continuous-record stations was done by fitting a logPearson type III curve to observed annual minimum data and 

by making a graphical adjustment to the fitted curve where 

the plotted data points and curve did not agree closely (Riggs, 

1972). Calculations were based on the climatic year (April 1 

through March 31).

Daily flow-duration information includes the percentage 

of days a particular discharge was equaled or exceeded. Duration tables for each continuous-record station were computed 

with the daily mean discharges for the entire period of record 

of complete water years. For those continuous-record stations having significant regulation, only the current, regulated 

period of record was used.

The terms “flow,” “streamflow,” and “discharge” are 

synonymous and are used interchangeably in this report. All 

three terms refer to the volume of water that passes a given 

point within a given period of time; all are expressed in units 

of cubic feet per second (ft3

/s).

Previous Studies 

Previous low-flow investigations of Indiana streams by 

the USGS include those by Hoggatt (1962), Rohne (1972), 

Stewart (1983), and Fowler and Wilson (1996). This report 

is similar to and is an update of these earlier reports. Arihood 

and Glatfelter (1986) presented a method for estimating 7-day 

low flows at the 10- and 2-year recurrence intervals (7Q10 

and 7Q2) for ungaged streams in central and northern Indiana, 

using equations that require the contributing drainage area 

and a flow-duration ratio for the area of interest. The ArihoodGlatfelter equations were developed on the basis of the flow 

characteristics published in Stewart (1983). Arvin (1989) 

presented statistical summaries for streamflow data in Indiana

that included flow-duration tables and annual low flows for 

selected consecutive days.

Statistical summaries like those presented in Arvin (1989) 

are available online for selected stations and are based on daily 

mean discharge through September 2006 (http://in.water.usgs.

gov/dvstats/).

Description of Study Area

The State of Indiana spans 36,418 square miles (mi2) in 

the east-central United States. The study area (fig. 1) consists 

of the entire State. The major drainage basins in Indiana (fig. 

1) are the Great Lakes Drainage Basin, which includes the 

St. Joseph Basin, the Lake Michigan Basin, and the Maumee 

Basin; the Upper Mississippi River Basin, which includes the 

Kankakee Basin; the Wabash Drainage Basin, which includes 

the upper, middle, and lower Wabash Basins, the West Fork 

White Basin, the East Fork White Basin, and the Patoka Basin; 

and the Ohio River Tributary Drainage Basin, which includes 

the Whitewater Basin and minor tributaries to the Ohio River 

(Ohio Basin).

Nearly eighty percent of Indiana is drained by streams 

that discharge into the Ohio River. The largest river in Indiana, 

the Wabash, drains 32,910 mi2 (including parts of Ohio and 

Illinois). The White River, a tributary to the Wabash, has two 

subbasins of nearly equal size—the West Fork and the East 

Fork—with a total drainage area of 11,349 mi2. The Whitewater River, which drains 1,369 mi2

, discharges into the Great 

Miami River in southern Ohio. The Kankakee and Iroquois 

Rivers are part of the Illinois River drainage; they drain about 

7 percent of Indiana (2,581 mi2) and flow westward into Illinois. Approximately 10 percent of Indiana is drained by three 

rivers that are part of the Great Lakes Basin. The Calumet and 

St. Joseph Rivers drain into Lake Michigan, and the Maumee 

River drains into Lake Erie. Both Lake Michigan and Lake 

Erie are part of the Saint Lawrence River drainage. Streams in 

the extreme south and southeast area of the State drain directly 

into the Ohio River.

Low-Flow Characteristics for Selected Streams in Indiana

Physiography and Geology

Indiana can be divided into four broad physiographic 

zones that are based on similarities in topography and geology 

(Gray, 2000) (fig. 1). The Northern Moraine and Lake Region 

is mostly glacial in origin and generally has more relief than 

the central zone. The Central Till Plain Region is a depositional plain of low relief underlain by thick glacial till that has 

been modified by postglacial stream erosion. The small eastern 

zone, the Maumee Lake Plain Region, is part of a larger 

zone in Ohio that is fairly flat with a few low ridges of beach 

silt and sand. Landforms in the southern zone, the Southern 

Hills and Lowlands Region, are formed from degradational 

processes, such as weathering and stream erosion. A detailed 

description of the subdivisions of each region can be found in

Indiana Geological Survey Special Report 61, “Physiographic 

Divisions of Indiana” (Gray, 2000).

Precipitation and geology directly influence the streams 

in Indiana. Streams in the northern, glaciated part of the State 

tend to have higher sustained base flows than those in the nonglaciated southern part.

Climate

Indiana climate is classified as continental and temperate; the summers tend to be hot and humid, whereas winters 

tend to be cold and damp. The transitional seasons of spring 

and fall are prone to frequent changes in weather. The growing season extends approximately from April through October. 

A well-defined, north-south climatic gradient across the State 

provides a cool, temperate climate in the north and a warm, 

temperate climate in the south. High humidity and frequent 

variations in temperature are characteristic.

Average annual precipitation ranges from 38.1 inches 

in northeast Indiana to 46.6 inches in the south-central area 

(fig. 2; National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, 

2014). May is typically the wettest month of the year, with 

average rainfall between 4 and 5 inches across the State. 

Average rainfall decreases slightly as summer progresses. 

Autumn months are drier, with 3 inches of rainfall typical in 

each month. Indiana winters are the driest time of year, with 

less than 3 inches of precipitation commonly received each 

month. February is the driest month of the year statewide, then 

precipitation increases in March and April as the spring soilmoisture recharge season begins. 

Annual precipitation is usually adequate for water needs, 

but an uneven distribution in the summer can limit crops. Mild 

to severe droughts occasionally occur in the summer when 

evaporation is highest and dependence on rainfall is greatest for crops. Groundwater storage is generally abundant in 

the north and central areas where there are glacial deposits. 

Underlying bedrock with shallow soils limits ground water 

storage in much of south-central Indiana (Scheeringa, 2002). 

The average annual precipitation in figure 2 shows that precipitation increased from the period 1961–1990 (Fowler and 

Wilson, 1996) to the period 1981–2010. On average, annual 

precipitation increased about 1.7 inches in the northern divisions, 2.2 inches in the central divisions, and 1.3 inches in the 

southern divisions.

Average annual temperatures range from 49.9 degrees 

Fahrenheit (°F) in northeast Indiana to 54.9 °F in southwest 

Indiana. January is typically the coldest month of the year, 

with normal daily maximum temperatures ranging from 31 to 

38 °F north to south across Indiana. Normal January minimums range between 15 and 21 °F north to south. July is the 

warmest month, with daily maximums averaging 80 to 83 °F 

and minimums 63 to 65 °F north to south (Scheeringa, 2002). 

The average annual temperatures in figure 2 show the temperatures have slightly increased from the period 1961–1990. In 

the northern divisions, temperature has increased about 0.6 °F; 

in the central division, 0.8 °F; and in the southern divisions, 

0.1 °F.

Methods of Analysis at Gaging Stations

Streamflow is a continuous process that varies over 

time. Streamflow characteristics in river basins can change 

in response to climate changes and human alteration such as 

the installation of reservoirs and dams, withdrawals for water 

supply, and inputs from wastewater treatment facilities. These 

changes can affect low-flow statistics. For this study, low-flow 

characteristics were determined by frequency analysis, flowduration analysis, and harmonic mean computation. 

Low-Flow Frequency Analysis

Frequency curves relate the magnitude of a variable to 

the frequency of occurrence (Riggs, 1968). In low-flow investigations, the frequency curves relate the minimum average 

discharge for a given number of consecutive days (N-day) to 

the recurrence interval in years (T-year). To compute return 

period low-flow values, such as 7Q10, an annual time series of 

average consecutive 7-day minimum discharges was calculated for all continuous-record streamgaging stations. 

For example, the 7-day, 10-year low flow (7Q10) is the 

minimum average discharge for 7 consecutive days, which has 

a 0.1 probability of not being exceeded in a given year. The 

recurrence interval is the reciprocal of the probability of recurrence. The recurrence interval also may be defined in general 

terms as the average interval of time between occurrences of 

low-flow events (for example, the 10-year low flow). Figure 3 

is an example of how the 1-day, 7-day, and 30-day periods of 

minimum average discharge may look on a hydrograph.

Continuous-Record Stations

Frequency analyses were computed for 230 continuousrecord stations in Indiana with at least 10 years of record 

(figs. 4 and 5). Frequency curves were defined by using a 

mathematical procedure for fitting the data to a log-Pearson 

type III distribution (Riggs, 1972). Figure 6 is an example of 

a frequency curve of 7-day low flows. Selected N-day, T-year 

low-flow characteristics can be computed from the following 

equation

XT = X + KS (1)

where

XT is selected N-day, T-year low flow, 

X is mean of the logarithms of the N-day values, 

 K is Pearson type III frequency factor for the 

value of skew coefficient computed for 

the data and a recurrence interval of T 

(nonexceedance probability of p = 1/T), 

and 

 S is standard deviation of the logarithms of the 

N-day values.

The USGS Surface-Water Statistics (SWSTAT) software 

was used to select annual minimum flows; compute the mean, 

standard deviation, and coefficient of skew; plot the fitted logPearson type III probability distribution; and plot the selected 

minimum flows versus recurrence intervals (Hutchison, 1975; 

Lumb and others, 1990; Flynn and others, 1995). Plotting 

positions were determined from the equation 

RI = (n + 1)/m (2)

where 

RI is recurrence interval in years,

n is number of years of record, and 

 m is numerical rank, with the lowest flow being 1. 

This procedure produced acceptable fits to most sets of 

low-flow data; however, certain low-flow-frequency curves 

could not be fitted adequately for a complete dataset. Where the 

data points deviated significantly from the log-Pearson type III 

curve, a curve was drawn manually through the data points to 

provide better estimates of the flow characteristics. This method 

of graphical interpretation is illustrated in Riggs (1972, p. 5). 

The log-Pearson type III fitting procedure works best when the 

absolute value of skew of the logs is close to zero. (Skew is a 

measure of asymmetry of a frequency distribution.) In a few 

cases, calculations were not made because the N-day values 

varied over a large enough range that the absolute value of skew 

exceeded allowable limits. This situation typically occurred 

when extreme regulation dropped discharge for a short period 

of time to a fraction of the normal discharge. About 12 percent 

of the continuous-record stations had at least one of the three 

curves adjusted. Values determined from frequency analysis that 

were less than or equal to 0.05 ft3

/s were rounded to zero; those 

that were between 0.05 and 0.1 ft3

/s were rounded to 0.1 ft3/s.

Low-Flow Characteristics for Selected Streams in Indiana

Riggs (1972) indicated that the reliability of a low-flow 

frequency curve is closely related to the length of record. Ideally, the record would be representative of the long-term-flow 

characteristics. In general, the longer the period of record, the 

more reliable the low-flow estimates. The period of record is 

listed in table 1 for all the continuous-record stations, several 

of which have been discontinued. Low-flow characteristics for 

stations with less than 10 years of record were estimated with 

the methods described in the section “Partial-Record Stations.” 

The estimated low-flow characteristics at a given station will 

change as the period of record changes, especially if drought 

years or unusually high flow years are added to the record. A 

comparison was made between 126 continuous-record stations 

(with comparable periods of record) to look at the difference 

between the calculated 7Q10 values of the 1996 study and this 

study. The 7Q10 was selected because it is the most commonly used hydrologically based frequency value. Sixty-four 

of the stations (52 percent) showed a positive change in the 

flow value, with a mean relative percent difference (RPD) of 

8.8 percent. Thirty-six stations (28 percent) showed a negative 

change in the flow value, with a mean RPD of -15 percent. 

Twenty-six stations (20 percent) showed no change.

Several continuous-record stations are affected by 

some form of regulation or diversion, which is noted in the 

“Remarks” section of the affected stations in table 1. For 

those stations affected by some form of regulation, low-flow 

frequency curves are based on the longest period of homogeneous record under current conditions. 

Partial-Record Stations 

Partial-record stations and continuous-record stations 

with less than 10 years of streamflow record have insufficient 

data for fitting the log-Pearson distribution. Partial-record 

stations are ungaged sites at which measurements of base flow 

are made. The base flows are related to the concurrent daily 

mean flows of a nearby continuous-record station (index station) for which a low-flow frequency curve has been defined. 

Riggs (1972) indicated that, generally, 8 to 10 measurements 

made on different streamflow recessions and in more than 1 

year should define the relation to concurrent flows at the index 

station. Riggs (1972) also indicated that fewer measurements 

may suffice if some were made during a significant drought. 

Ideally, the watershed for the index station should be of 

similar terrain, drainage area, and geologic characteristics as 

that for the partial-record station. With this in mind, regional 

physiography (fig. 1), the flow-duration ratio map of Arihood 

and Glatfelter (1986), and proximity were considered during 

the selection of index stations. The location of the partialrecord stations is shown in figure 7. 

Low-flow characteristics at partial-record stations were 

estimated by use of the mathematical technique described 

in Stedinger and Thomas (1985) or by the graphical correlation methods described in Riggs (1972). In both techniques, a 

relation between base-flow measurements at the partial-record 

stations and concurrent daily flows at index stations (using 

logarithms of flows) is developed. The Stedinger-Thomas 

technique defines the relation by means of least-squares 

regression analysis. The regression analysis and low-flow 

statistics at the index station are used to estimate the desired 

flow characteristics at the partial-record station. One of the 

key assumptions of the Stedinger-Thomas technique is that the 

frequency factor for the index station and the frequency factor 

for the partial-record station are the same. It is assumed that 

the frequency factors will be approximately equal if the sites 

are in similar hydrologic settings and have similar drainage 

areas. This is an important assumption of the method that must 

be considered when choosing index stations.

The Stedinger-Thomas technique was used as the primary 

method for estimating low-flow characteristics at the partialrecord stations because it is automated and, therefore, easily 

reproduced. However, hydrologic judgment is needed when 

selecting which measurements and concurrent daily flows to 

use because outliers can affect the slope of the linear regression. Ideally, it is recommended that there be at least 10 baseflow measurements at the partial-record station and that there 

be a linear relation between the base flows and the concurrent 

daily mean flows at the index station. Stedinger and Thomas 

(1985) recommend that the correlation coefficient exceed 0.70. 

Also, the Stedinger-Thomas technique uses logarithms of 

flows; zero flows cannot be used.

The Stedinger-Thomas technique was originally designed 

to estimate only the 7Q10 but has been shown to adequately 

estimate other flow frequencies (1Q10 and 30Q10) (Thompson 

and Hoffman, 2006). The Stedinger-Thomas technique has 

been automated by the USGS and has the capability of using 

multiple index stations. The Stedinger-Thomas technique for 

partial-record stations is included in the regional hydrologic 

regression and NETwork analysis using Generalized Least 

Squares (GLSNet) software (Tasker and Stedinger, 1989; 

Flynn and others, 1995).

The graphical correlation method (Riggs, 1972) was 

used to estimate low-flow characteristics for the partial-record 

stations with zero flows or where the relation between base 

flows and concurrent daily mean flows was not well defined. 

Base-flow measurements at the partial-record station are plotted on log-log scale against concurrent daily mean flows at 

the index station, and a best-fit line relating the two is drawn. 

Points from the frequency curve defined for the index station 

are transferred through the best-fit line to obtain estimates of 

analogous frequency points at the partial-record station. An 

example of an application of the graphical method is shown in 

figure 8.

The procedures outlined above also were used to estimate 

low-flow characteristics at continuous-record stations with less 

than 10 years of record (table 1). At some stations with a short 

period of record, daily values during base flow were used to 

augment the discharge measurements.

Low-Flow Characteristics for Selected Streams in Indiana

Low-flow characteristics were estimated at 166 partialrecord stations in Indiana (table 2). The estimated flow 

characteristics are limited to the 1Q10, the 7Q10, and 30Q10. 

Estimates of 1Q10, 7Q10 and 30Q10 that were less than 

or equal to 0.05 ft3/s were rounded to zero; those that were 

between 0.05 and 0.1 ft3/s were rounded to 0.1 ft3/s. 

Data Limitations at Partial-Record Stations

Most of the base-flow measurements at partial-record 

stations were made in the 1960s and 1970s, presumably when 

cooperative programs were in place that emphasized gathering 

low-flow data at ungaged sites. There was also a short period 

of renewed interest in gathering low-flow data in 1988 and 

1989 as a result of drought conditions in Indiana, the effects

it needs to be recognized that correlations between partialrecord stations and index stations are based on data that are 

decades old. There is no guarantee that a linear relation (slope) 

between a partial-record station and an index station is the 

same today as it was 30, 40, or 50 years ago. Because few 

new base-flow measurements have been collected, estimates 

of low-flow statistics at partial-record stations can be updated 

only by using index stations that are active or were active until 

recently. With this in mind, a priority was placed on selecting 

active gages as index stations. However, at some partial-record 

stations, the only suitable correlation was with a gage that was 

discontinued sometime after base-flow measurements were 

made at the partial-record station.

Methods of Analysis at Gaging Stations

Flow-Duration Analysis

A flow-duration curve is a cumulative frequency curve 

that shows the percentage of time that a specified discharge at 

a site was equaled or exceeded during a given period of record

(Searcy, 1959). Flow-duration curves are useful for showing 

the flow characteristics of a stream throughout its range of 

discharge. The chronological sequence of flows is not a factor 

in the curve. This report contains flow-duration analyses for all 

of the continuous-record stations in Indiana (table 1). A flowduration analysis applies only to the period of record used to 

develop the curve, and the flow-duration curve represents the 

average curve for the period of record.

Only complete years of record are used for flow-duration 

analysis. The years used do not need to be consecutive, but 

conditions in the basin (artificial storage, diversions, or other 

manmade influences) need to be the same. By arranging flows 

according to frequency of occurrence and by plotting the flowduration curve, the combined effects of the factors influencing 

runoff are integrated into the curve. The shape of the curve is 

determined by the hydrologic and geologic characteristics of 

the drainage basin. The slope at the lower 

end of the curve is indicative of the perennial 

storage in the drainage basin; a gentle slope 

indicates a large amount of storage, and a 

steep slope indicates little storage. A gentle 

slope indicates sustained streamflow during 

dry periods. A curve with a steep slope indicates highly variable streamflow that is influenced by direct runoff. A flow-duration curve 

with a gentle slope indicates the presence of 

surface-water or groundwater storage; slow, 

constant release of the stored water tends 

to equalize the flow at the station (Searcy, 

1959). Arihood and Glatfelter (1986) used 

the slope of the flow-duration curve between 

the 20-percent and 90-percent flow durations (F20/90) as an explanatory variable for 

estimating low-flow statistics at unregulated, 

ungaged streams, and referred to this as the 

flow-duration ratio.

Figure 9Flowduration curves for a stream in southern Indiana (Big Creek) and a stream 

Figure 9. Flow-duration curves for a stream 

in southern Indiana (Big Creek) and a stream in 

northern Indiana (Pigeon Creek).

In general, flow-duration curves with steep slopes are 

typical of streams in the hilly areas of southern Indiana, and 

curves with gentle slopes are typical of streams in the glaciated areas of northern Indiana. Figure 9 shows two flowduration curves for streams with drainage areas of similar size, 

one from southern Indiana and one from northern Indiana. 

Despite the similar drainage areas, flow characteristics differ. 

Big Creek (Posey County, fig. 4) is in an area of exposed or 

shallow bedrock with some unconsolidated alluvial or loess 

deposits (Gray, 2000), and its flow is highly variable and 

periodically goes to zero. The steep slope of the curve for Big 

Creek is reflected in the flow-duration ratio of 300 (F20/90). 

Pigeon Creek (Steuben County, fig. 4) has a smaller range of 

flow that was sustained 99.5 percent of the time above 5 ft3/s. 

The gentler slope of the curve for Pigeon Creek is reflected 

in the flow-duration ratio of 7.2 (F20/90). This sustained flow 

can be attributed to the unconsolidated deposits in the area and 

contributing groundwater (Gray, 2000). Sustained flows in the 

Central Till Plain are generally lower than those in the north, 

except in localized areas of higher channel permeability. Flowduration curves were generated with the SWSTAT software.

Low-Flow Characteristics for Selected Streams in Indiana

Harmonic Mean Flow

The harmonic mean flow statistic (Qh) can serve as a 

design flow for human health criteria that are based on lifetime 

exposures because it can be used to calculate the average 

exposure concentration of a contaminant for an average contaminant loading rate (Rossman 1990a; Straub, 2001; Koltun 

and Whitehead, 2002). Design flows are used in water-pollution control programs to provide adequate protection against 

pollutant exposure periods of a given duration (Rossman, 

1990b). The harmonic mean flow value was calculated for 

each of the 230 streamgages with at least 10 years of record 

from the daily mean discharge record by using a computer 

program based on DFLOW, a computer program developed 

by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (Rossman, 

1990b). The period of record used was the same as was used 

for the frequency analysis (the entire record or current conditions after regulation). The exposure concentration will be 

greater and more harmful on days with low flow than on days 

with high flows. The Qh

 statistic computed from a streamflow 

record generally is smaller than the corresponding arithmetic 

mean discharge, is adjusted for the days with zero flow, and 

gives greater weight to low daily mean discharges than high 

daily mean discharges. The Qh streamflow statistic is calculated as:

 (6)

where Qi is the mean streamflow for a given day, Nnz is the 

number of non-zero daily mean streamflows and Nt is the total 

number of daily mean streamflows. If no zero-flow days are in 

the record, the harmonic mean flow is equal to the reciprocal 

of the mean of the reciprocals of the daily mean streamflow 

data.

Harmonic mean flows at partial-record stations and continuous-record stations with less than 10 years of record were 

estimated by use of linear relations between base-flow measurements at the partial-record stations and concurrent daily 

mean flows at the index stations. If the Stedinger-Thomas 

correlation technique was used, the logarithm of the harmonic 

mean at the index station was used in the linear equation to 

solve for the harmonic mean at the partial-record station. If the 

graphical correlation method was used, the harmonic mean at 

the index station was transferred to the partial-record station as 

shown in figure 8.

Summary

Low-flow characteristics for 272 continuous-record 

streamgaging stations and 166 partial-record stations in 

Indiana are presented in this report. A frequency analysis, 

flow-duration information, and the harmonic mean flow are 

computed for all continuous-record stations. For partial-record 

stations, the listed estimates are the 1-day, 7-day, and 30-day 

low flow at the 10-year recurrence interval and the harmonic 

mean flow (if sufficient data are available). Discussions of the 

statistical methods used are presented. The streams in Indiana 

are directly influenced by precipitation and geology. The average annual precipitation and temperature in Indiana increased 

from the period 1961–1990 to 1981–2010. Generally, streams 

in the glaciated northern zone of the State have higher 

sustained base flows than in the nonglaciated southern zone. 

Stream channels in northern Indiana tend to be highly permeable, and flows are more sustained because of the influence of 

groundwater. Sustained flows in the Central Till Plain are generally lower than those in the north, except in localized areas 

of higher channel permeability. The southern zone of the State 

has the most diverse physiography of the four zones. Throughout much of southern Indiana, however, there is little sustained 

base flow. In some areas of alluvial deposits, sustained flows 

are increased but are generally lowest in the south.

Table 1

1. Low-flow characteristics for continuous-record streamgaging stations in Indiana. 

Tables 1 and 2 in Excel file format are available at http://dx.doi.org/10.3133/sir20145242.

Table 1. Low-flow characteristics for continuous-record streamgaging stations in Indiana.

The following data sheets list station descriptions and low-flow characteristics for 230 continuous-record stations in Indiana with 

at least 10 years of record and an additional 42 stations with less than 10 years of record. Low-flow characteristics are based on 

available data through September 2011, except for selected short-term continuous-record stations, where data extending through 

September 2013 were used. The information includes low-flow-frequency analysis, flow-duration analysis, and harmonic mean 

flows (human health design flow) for the continuous-record stations. Design flows are used in water-pollution control programs 

to provide adequate protection against pollutant exposure periods of a given duration (Rossman, 1990b). Each continuous-record 

station is linked to the USGS NWIS Web interface. For those stations affected by some form of regulation, low-flow frequency 

curves are based on the longest period of homogeneous record under current conditions. 

Locational coordinates are given in degree-minute-second format. In addition to standard abbreviations for compass directions, 

the following abbreviations are used throughout the data sheets:
